Companies are changing what they promote as their culture and values. Take mindfulness and meditation, for example. More and more companies are understanding that the activities they partake in, what they encourage from their employees on a day to day basis, can dramatically impact the workplace, and their success.

It can also reduce stress and enhance teamwork, which has led to many companies re-thinking their health benefits packages.
